Le Best of/de Paris - February 2026 Edition
This selection is drawn from more than 30 exhibitions visited across Paris this month.
List below.
Florence Jung
Galerie Allen
31.01.26 → Closing date to be advised.
Since 2011, Florence Jung creates scenarios. In the absence of images, these script-based situations circulate through the personal, evolving, and sometimes contradictory narratives of viewers and witnesses. Yet none of this is !ctional; each scenario is real.
Susana Pilar
Not Alone
Galleria Continua
16.01.2026 → 10.03.2026
Not Alone explores issues related to gender, race, and family heritage - recurring themes in the artist’s practice. The thirteen works on view, including seven new pieces created specifically for the exhibition, are presented in the form of a performance, videos, paintings, drawings, photographies, and installations.
Melanie Smith
An Age of Liberty When the
World Had Been Possible
Galerie Peter Kilchmann
10.01.2026 → 07.03.2026
A multidisciplinary artist whose exhibitions consistently explore drawing, painting, performative film, and installation, Smith enjoys drawing from the vast fields of painting and art history, intertwining them with moving images.
Victoire Inchauspé’s first solo exhibition at Galerie Jousse Entreprise is entitled Armoires vides (Empty Wardrobes). The title implicitly evokes a sequence of gestures and actions: it presupposes a wardrobe that was once full and has since been emptied of its contents. But what compels one, one morning, to empty it? What urgencies, necessities or obligations prompt such a gesture?
Group show
A hundred years of chess
Galerie Perrotin
31.01.2026 → 28.02.2026
Based on an original idea by R.Jonathan Lambert, the gallery is pleased to present A Hundred Years of Chess an exhibition showcasing the influence of chess on contemporary art.
Giangiacomo Rossetti
Résurrectine
Mendes Wood DM
24.01.2026 → 14.03.2026
In Résurrectine, Giangiacomo Rossetti creates an atmosphere of self-enclosed, mausoleum-like entombment.
Group show
Le syndrome de Bonnard
Frac IDF
14.02.2026 → 19.07.2026
Le Syndrome de Bonnard (Bonnard Syndrome), exhibited at Le Plateau in Paris and Les Réserves in Romainville from 14th February to 19th July 2026, will reveal the evolving and open nature of artworks. Through reworkings, reactivations and recycling, the works continue to evolve after entering collections. Inspired by painter Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947) and his habit of endlessly modifying his works, the exhibition, curated by the collective Le Bureau/, brings together over thirty French and international artists to explore the impermanence of works, the malleability of narratives, and the ever-evolving dialogue between creation and institution.
With Just Bees, and Things, and Flowers, Maude Maris presents a collection of her recent paintings at the Les Jardiniers art center in Montrouge. Taking advantage of the long walls and industrial feel of the venue, she displays both large-format works and a few smaller canvases, allowing visitors to appreciate the latest developments in her work, which is inspired by her travels between the Paris region and the Normandy countryside, her epicenter.
